Continuing from Eric's and Helen's lead:
My name is John Michon and I'm a physician and faculty member at the Duke
University School of Medicine, in the Department of Ophthalmology. My
major interest is in applying Semantic Web technology to the clinical
record and integrating it with the huge data sets emerging from high
throughput methods such as sequencing/genotyping and functional
genomics/microarrays. There's a large gap between genotype and clinical
phenotype, and endowing both with semantics is a critical task in creating
knowledge that we can act upon to improve health.
I am excited about the HCLSIG's formal charter and look forward to working
with all of you to advance our common interest in making biomedicine more
effective, more precise and more comprehensive---in service to our
patients and society.
I have an MD degree from the University of Illinois and did an eye
residency at Johns Hopkins, followed by a clinical fellowship at USC. I
also have an MS in biomedical informatics from Stanford University.
